Hello All,

I have a table (ATable) that contains the following

(int) (varchar)
UserID Company
1 ABC
1 DEF
1 GHI
2 ABC
2 DEF
3 ABC

and I am trying to create a view that looks like

UserID Companies
1 ABC,DEF,GHI,
2 ABC,DEF,
3 ABC,

I've tried->

select
UserID,
Sum(Company + ',')
from
ATable
group by
UserID

However the Varchar datatype is incorrect for the SUM.

Any idea how to do this?
